Great place for delicious Korean food. The pork ribs and the pork neck bone soup are two of their well known dishes. Both are delicious and flavorful. We also tried the squid, which was also super tasty. This is one of my favorite Korean spots in Carrollton. They also serve a couple of banchan items as well which is nice. The food we ordered also came with white rice.Service is pretty good. The waiters are helpful if you have questions. It can get pretty crowded at dinner time, so come a little bit earlier to beat the crowd. There's a decent number of tables inside.

The ribs here were super delicious and they give you enough to share between 2-3 people! They even sort of filet the ribs so it's super easy to get the meat. This is their signature dish so must try when you're here! The Ox brisket soup was good but pretty standard to the others I've tried. The service was nice and helpful. The restaurant can get packed very quick on the weekends so try to go during off-peak times or there may be a wait. The restaurant is a little tight but not too bad.

Went for weekend lunch. Was seated almost immediately and then the restaurant filled so quickly that if we had come 10 minutes later, we would have waited. Service is quick. Ordered their signature, the original ribs, which were absolutely delicious. It's a large portion. The sauce is like a classic Korean style with a little spice even for the mild option. I had to share with friends and they even requested additional bites despite having their own meals, for which they had seollangtang. They both liked their meal and the soup was rich. The banchan had a nice spread, although the kimchi seemed like it didn't have much time to ferment. This is probably a little more expensive than some of the other options around the area but it's worth it. On the weekends, you pay the dinner price for lunch for their seollangtang. I saw another table's galbijjim order and it looked amazing. Will definitely need to be back!

Went on a late afternoon. Despite it being a weird in-between meal time, the restaurant had quite a few tables going. There was kpop blasting, but the store was pretty well lit and not grime-y. We were seated right away and given banchan (basic, nothing to write home about). We had the pork ribs and the squid stir fry. The pork ribs were served hot and sizzling on a hot iron plate, deliciously charred in some places. I thought it was a tad overcooked, but flavor-wise, there was nothing to complain about. The squid stir fry came atop a portable butane gas burner. The squid was pretty much cooked when it hit the table, but we let it marinate a bit with the veggies. Squid stayed nice and tender, which I appreciated. The spicy sauce was addictive, and I ate way more of the rice than I had planned.

Best Korean style pork ribs around town. And one of our fave seafood pancakes, too. Food is always delicious and on point. They also have one of the best, generous assortment of bottomless banchan too. I particularly like their cucumbers, radish, kimchee, and fishcakes. Service is efficient and courteous. Ambiance is solid (what you would think for a strip mall Asian place) - bustling during crowded times with a lively set of customers - as you would expect. We are always super happy when we have had a meal here. Highly recommend!

My friend and I shared the hot stoned bimbibap, the seafood pancake, & the LA galbi. All the food along with the side dishes were delicious and came out quickly after ordering. I also liked how the seafood pancake was crunchy and had a good amount of batter compared to other places I've tried where it was super thin. I also heard the raw marinated crab is delicious so something I would add to the list to try if there's no dietary restrictions! The servers were super sweet by helping us organize the table to provide the most space for us to access all the food easily. The restaurant is spacious and has many different table sizes to accommodate various numbers of parties.

3.5 stars more than 4. I used to come here pretty often but at some point I feel like the quality has been lacking as before so I have updated my star review. The side dishes aren't as fresh as before, not as many options as before either. The cold noodles don't come with slushy broth anymore, the ribs tastes like it was pre cooked then reheated and some pieces were even cold, and the quantity of the ribs are a lot less but prices have increased. Still it's a good overall korean restaurant but unfortunately not as good as it used to be.

Wanted to try a different lunch place than the ones we keep visiting when we make a trip into Dallas. Love the Korean food here especially in Carrollton. Don't have that here in Austin so we try to hit our faves when in town. Well Arirang my favorite kimchi dumpling place was closed on Tuesday and it's around the corner so we decided to walk around and see what else there is. Our friend recommended the jambong jajiangmyun place next door actually but we just had song bo sung last night so we decided to see what this place was about. My husband checked out their menu and I looked here online and the reviews were good. We wanted soup and something easy for lunch too so we popped in. The servers were all so nice. Easy simple lunch menu. Prices were decent. Place was kinda busy and it was clean. Seems like they are known for their soups so most of us got their beef soup half got spicy and my husband got his fave soonduboo tofu soup. The sides arrived and they were all tasty and fresh. The soups were all good. I liked mine. Just the right spice. Wished there was more beef balanced with soup but it's ok for lunch. Actually wanted yukjejang which they don't have. The regular gomtang one of my kids got noodles in it the other didn't lol thought that was weird. It was ok like most gomtang you gotta season it yourself well. My husband's tofu soup he says was really good. We enjoyed the meal. It was light. They refilled our panchans kindly and the rice was good too. We were satisfied. If you are looking for a light soupy lunch it's a good spot. It's hard because everything is pretty yummy here. If you have many days in town try them all :)

I had heard great things about this place, so I was excited to try it. I shared the Korean army stew with sausage, kimchi hot pot, and ramen with three others, and there was probably enough for four people.Unfortunately, the meal was incredibly salty--so much so that even the ramen was difficult to enjoy. To make matters worse, they never came to refill our water jug or replenish the side dishes.Will have to update later.

The food is SO good. Tried their famous soup that you season yourself and their spare pork ribs. Their seafood pancake is one of the best I've had in DFW - super crispy. Be advised it can get very packed! Family friendly but you also drink there too. Good for groups of like 6 or less.
